I made this card for a Halloween contest .  I chose a non-standard size   (20 cm x 20 cm) and  many different materials (craft paper, glitter paper, twine, cardstock, inks, watercolors, alcohol markers and more) I die cut and stamped pumpkins, ghosts and bats with the  Die-namics/ My Favourite Things   Halloween set. Last year, I used this same set to make an explosion box ( HERE ).  For the black background, I wanted something in stark contrast, but still within the range of classic Halloween colors!  1) I dabbed a gauze onto a white ink pad and then on the paper  2) I dripped white watercolor onto the paper by tapping the tip of a wet brush.  I've printed Halloween rhymes  on craft paper I've designed and colored the dance floor with alcohol-based markers   The mummies are digital stamps from Glimps Flag banner, stroboscopic light and spiderweb are all hand  cut/handmade. ...

Today I want to show you some cards I've recently created by using watercolors. The cool thing here is that by using ZIG watercolors and an acrylic block , I created colorful backgrounds in just few minutes! How does it work?  👉First, get a thick  drawing paper suitable for water colors (I've used 100% cotton-made paper). 👉 Second, scribble the colors of your choice on the acrylic block. 👉 Third, spray water, abundantly, on the acrylic block. 👉 Fourth, with a steady movement place the block (face down) on the cotton paper. 👉 Fifth, put a small weight on the block and leave it there for a minute (or longer if you're using thinner paper) What I've noticed is that if you press the block firmly (almost squashing it), you obtain a continuous layer with no white spaces. ...but, if you just place the block on the paper you get something more discontinuous, like a marbled design. I really liked both versions! Here you have a VIDEO ...

I haven't been posting in awhile: laziness, some days of vacations, drop of creativity (mainly due to the lack of raw materials, hahaha 🤣) and days and days went by... Today I want to show you some bo ok ma rk s I recently made by using a cute digital stamp , some scrap paper and a magazine's paper . The digital stamp is from the Glimps series. I stamped it on 100% cotton watercolor paper , and I've colored it with ZIG  watercolors and Stabilo Swano markers. I added some interest to the little photographers with a fine tip black marker, a white gel pen and glossy accents (on camera's lens and flower-shaped hair pin). After watching this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d3irNsptSw ), I decided to try 3 different color combinations to create these skin tones I cut and rounded the corners of scrap paper and matching colored card stock. I punched either flowers or circles in the paper and added some magazine's shiny paper containi...

Made with a digital stamp .  I've created the background with the Xcut circle nesting dies and the sentiment with a black pigment ink and a mix of white and transparent embossing powders . I water colored the stamp with the following ZIG Clear Color Real Brush colors: 222, 070,029,260, 031, 010, 043 and 052.  Headband has been colored with a red STABILO point 88 Mini marker and a gold gel pen. #robscreations
